When he was touching his chin with his hand and thinking, he suddenly felt that someone seemed to pat his shoulder gently.
He was so frightened that he turned around and tried to subdue the man to the ground.
But who would have known that when he turned around, he found that the person standing behind him was Qi Tiezui.
He was a little incredulous, and asked with his eyes slightly widened.
"Why are you here?"
Qi Tiezui on the side naturally asked back.
"Master Buddha, I haven't asked you yet, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?"
After hearing this, Zhang Qihai naturally told Qi Tiezui everything he had just seen without hesitation.
After hearing these things, Qi Tiezui was naturally very surprised.
His eyes widened in disbelief and he spoke.
"Is what you said true or false?"
But at this point, how could Zhang Qihai possibly deceive him in any way, so he nodded with a serious face.
"Why did I lie to you?"
If you think about it carefully, it seems to be true.
Recently, he and Zhang Qihai have been in the same boat together, and he has been with them for so much time, how could he not know what kind of person Zhang Qihai is?
And the fact that these people from Baiqiao Village sneaked down here in the middle of the night to do all this really makes people feel very suspicious.
"I also heard some noise outside, so I came here."
"I didn't expect to see you after just a few steps. I also find it very strange."
After hearing this, Zhang Qihai finally began to understand what was going on.
He nodded gently, raised his head and glanced towards the room where Bai Qiaozhai was.
"These people are indeed suspicious. We still need to pay more attention to them."
Although he is still unclear about their purpose, they still have to be careful.
If anything goes wrong, I'm afraid everyone will be trapped in this vortex and won't be able to get out.
Qi Tiezui naturally understood what he should do, so he nodded, raised his hand and gently patted Zhang Qihai's shoulder.
"Then let's go back now. It would be bad if we were discovered by others."
Then the two of them carefully returned to the room.
Maybe it was because of what they had just seen, so even though they were lying on the bed, they still couldn't sleep.
At this moment, they were all thinking about what the people from Baiqiao Village were up to.
But right now they really are helpless.
However, due to their long journeys these days, they were indeed a little tired, so it didn't take long before they finally fell into a dream.
While waiting for the daybreak, they had not yet had enough rest when they heard a shrill sound.
"Oh my God, there's a fire, there's a fire, come and put it out!"
The sound resounded throughout the entire room, and everyone in the room immediately stood up.
Everyone was very surprised that such a thing happened so early in the morning.
Everyone stood up immediately, and sure enough, they smelled a faint burnt smell in their noses.
When they found out that the fire was not in the room they were in, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then they immediately put on their clothes and went outside the building with their valuables.
At this moment, Zhang Qihai, Qi Tiezui, Fatty and the other three immediately followed them out the door, wanting to see what was going on.
When they saw that there was indeed some fire burning not far away, Zhang Qihai and Qi Tiezui couldn't help but exchange glances with each other.
It was obvious that he had indeed come to the same conclusion now.
We discovered Baiqiao Village last night. For some unknown reason, a fire broke out early this morning while those people were carrying branches from the back mountain. It was really too much of a coincidence.
Others immediately started carrying water to put out the fire.
The fire was getting more and more intense, and no one dared to sit idle.
It would be terrible if the whole house burned down.
Not only that, when the shop owner and his wife saw this, they were naturally very surprised and had no idea why such a thing happened.
They all felt like crying but had no tears left, but they continued to put out the fire even though they were very sad.
After all, this can be regarded as their only asset.
Now that this has happened, they really don't know what to do.
"Everyone, please help put out the fire. If the smell of fire gets stronger, the whole store will catch fire."
"Yes, yes, let's hurry up and don't let the fire spread any further."
……
Everyone encouraged each other and started working hard.
At this moment, Zhang Qihai discovered a familiar room in the rumbling fire mist.
After a while, he figured out that the house that had just caught fire seemed to be the room where the chieftain was.
Then, he whispered to Qi Tiezui beside him everything he had seen.
"Oh my god, the fire started in the room where the chief toast was. Did I see it wrong yesterday?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Tiezui raised his hand and gently touched the black sweat on his forehead, then looked in the direction he pointed.
He had been helping to put out the fire, but when he heard the words, he couldn't help but lean forward and fell several times.
After a closer look, I found that what Zhang Qihai said was indeed right.
If this is true, then what is going on? Is this a self-directed act by them, or is it someone else who deliberately pretends to be from Baiqiao Village and attacks them?
But this is really too unreasonable.
For a moment, Qi Tiezui seemed to be stuck in place by glue and couldn't move. He really had no idea what was going on.
But soon they both reacted.
After all, everyone is here to put out the fire, and it is indeed a bit too abnormal for two people to just stand there in a daze.
Qi Tiezui immediately spoke in a low voice.
"We can discuss this matter later. Let's put out the fire first."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Qihai nodded in agreement.
He was indeed a little hesitant about this.
But it’s not good to show it in front of other people, otherwise it would be too obvious.
Chapter 483 Contradiction
With everyone's concerted efforts, the fire finally stopped spreading and slowly subsided.
At this moment, almost everyone was sweating profusely. They looked at everything that was burned to ashes, with a little helplessness on their faces.
There are so many people involved in all of this happening right now, and if they didn't react at all, the situation wouldn't be as bad as it is now.
Not only that, they also found a particularly strange place.
The fire seemed to come from the chief chief's room.
But right now these Han people really can’t say a single word.
The people in Baiqiao Village are not in a hurry, so there is no need for them to be anxious here.
But at the moment they were still whispering to their companions about everything they had just observed.
"Oh my god, how did the fire come from the chief minister's room? Could it be that something has happened to her?"
Upon hearing this, the person next to him immediately gave him a look and spoke cautiously and vigilantly.
"Please don't say anything. It will be terrible if someone hears you."
In this case, they naturally did not dare to say anything else.
And at this moment they did subconsciously look at the expressions of the people in Baiqiao Village and found that they seemed to be very nervous as well.
Not only that, they seemed to be whispering something, but because the distance was too far, they couldn't hear anything at all.
Moreover, their eyes seemed to be fixed on the room where the chief chieftain lived, which was also the house that was burned the most severely.
Everyone was whispering their opinions, and at this moment a man suddenly rushed out of the chieftain's room in a hurry, and his face looked very troubled at the moment.
Not only that, he seemed to be holding a familiar figure in his arms.
Everyone looked carefully and found that he was holding a big piece of toast.
Seeing this scene, everyone stepped forward immediately, looking very worried.
Then the man came to the side holding the big toast, and those things that were not burned were transported into the room.
They must be very worried about this right now, fearing that she would do something like this.
"How could this happen? What is the situation of the big chieftain now?"
Before the people around them could speak, the people from Baiqiao Village started asking themselves.
Afterwards, the people from Baiqiao Village surrounded the chieftain, and the Han people nearby didn’t see anything at all.
They kept asking about the situation of these big chieftains.
"Yeah, how could something like this happen out of nowhere?"
"So what should we do now?"
"Don't say that, let's find someone who knows medical skills."
As soon as the words fell, someone timidly raised his hand, frowned slightly, and spoke.
